An award-winning and groundbreaking series, The DL Chronicles tells the stories of gay men of color who, by circumstance or by choice, live closeted lives on "The Down Low."
"The Down Low" is a slang term sometimes used to refer to men of color who identify as being straight, but secretly engage in sexual activity with men. These men sometimes date women, have children and often marry in an effort to appear heterosexual to the public. These men do not identify as gay or bisexual and generally do not associate with the LGBT community.
Narrated by an aspiring journalist authorizing a book about "the Down Low," this anthology series explores the issues of betrayal, denial, sexual discovery, secrecy, love and loss. From a highly-desired, successful executive to the street corner hustler, from the happily married father of two to the college athletes first love, each episode delves into the diverse lives and experiences of DL Men of Color across social, cultural and economic boundaries.
